\"Zen,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Words carry such beauty
They’re so powerful, aren’t they?
You can brighten up a sad face
Or you can ruin someone’s perfect day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How then can it be, I wonder
That the absence of something so profound
Can cause a deeper, stronger reaction?
How can silence possibly surpass sound?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a room full of people
It is so easy to drown out the noise
And bring the world to a grinding halt
Just by looking into each other’s eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can express your love in so many ways
The possibilities are endless
And yet when you are truly lost in each other
That magic can only leave you breathless<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can talk about shock and surprise
And protest, approve or agree
But when it manifests in all its intensity
Speechless is all you’re going to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can shout or cry or weep
Or express your pain through poetry
And yet, you can only be at a loss for words
When you’re truly drowned in your misery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can try to mend a broken heart
Through loving words full of grace
But few things will heal as profoundly
As someone silently holding the space<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can humiliate, wound and insult someone,
You can fight every single day,
But you know the relationship is truly over
When there is nothing left to say<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a big, exciting world out there,
To experience, conquer and own
And yet absolutely none of it matters
If the silence within remains unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n
